I grew up in Dunbarton, and moved to Goffstown 3 years ago (I'm 24). It is a nice town, however there really isn't anything to do in town, and the closest place other than a convenience store and a library is 15-30 minutes away depending whether you want to go to Concord or Manchester. I'm liking Goffstown a lot more than Dunbarton, as we also have Comcast cable (only satellite and DSL in Dunbarton), they have sidewalks downtown where you can walk around, there are grocery stores, gas stations, a hardware store, restaurants, etc. all downtown.
Right now Dunbarton is part of the Goffstown school district, but they are looking at going to Bow, which will go in effect the 2013-2014 school year I believe. The high school in Goffstown is great, however the administration at the middle school has caused Dunbarton and New Boston to look at leaving for other districts.
OP said they were looking for country, thats why I suggested Dunbarton. I just moved out of Goffstown, lived near the village from 07-2011, enjoyed my stay there, was nice to be able to walk to have all those main street stores at waling distance as well as glenn lake and the uncanoonuc mtns. I really did enjoy the town. My biggest gripe with goffstown was the traffic, the oppressive police force and the high taxes. Their tax rate is not much lower then Bow's and their schools arent as good. I do miss being close to the village but i dont miss driving on 114 or goffstown back road. what should be a 10 minutes drive to manchester can take up to 25 minutes...
The more we look at things, the more I keep going back to the North side of Manchester. It seems to be the "nicer" part of town. Also close to Catholic schools, parks, etc.
If I'm missing something, please let me know. Thanks!

there is no doubt that if you're going to live in Manchester, the north END is the place to be.
